Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art focused on grappling and ground fighting techniques. It emphasizes leverage and technique to overcome larger opponents, ultimately finishing with joint locks and strangles. Practitioners engage in live sparring sessions to apply learned techniques, refining reflexes and ground combat skills. BJJ emphasizes precision, positional dominance, and efficient execution of techniques - in essence, it is control leading to submission
